Tatra 813 _930-3E 930-3-17E Motor - Turbocharged ?

I heard from a "former" Tatra truck mechanic that you could, in theory, add in a twin turbo to the normally aspirated 813 motor and development 300-325 hp. Any truth in this?

I think belt driven superchargers are a favored mod for trials trucks, not sure what sort of Hp they're getting with them on though. When they talk about 300+ hp 813's I always presumed they were just the later models with the bigger 19L engine? Or maybe even retro fit engines out of later trucks, possibly some that already have turbo's fitted. Out of interest do you know if an engine out of a Tatra 815 would swap easily into an old 813? Would there be any big issues in doing this that you know of i.e. Drive shaft, engine mountings, linkages or pipe work etc?


Thanks
